Jailbreak iPhone 2G,3G,3GS OS 3.1.2 with Pwnage Tool (Mac + Windows)

Apple released the iPhone software update – OS 3.1.2 few days back and the latest firmware update contains a baseband firmware update 5.11.04 like firmware 3.1 and it’s is not compatible with Ultrasn0w. Unlock baseband 5.11.04 cannot be done with any utility as such. But thankfully, the iPhone Dev team has released the PwnageTool program that let’s you update your main firmware without touching your baseband firmware.

Here is a simple to follow guide which shows you how to upgrade and unlock your iPhone 3G from Firmware 3.0 to Firmware 3.1 without upgrading your baseband. All you have to do is download a custom firmware, this custom firmware is created with Dev team Pwnage Tool that strips out the baseband update from the upgrade.

Are you eligible for Pwnage tool or not?
